Medical management has turned Toby around completely and he is now on a balanced home made diet (Hilary's Blend) and lactulose and is doing very well.
May I ask you how invasive was the ultra sound? Did Toki need to be shaved and sedated? Also, how invasive is scintigraphy and what does it involve for the dog? I ask these questions because Toby can no longer tolerate anesthetic or even vaccinations.
All the very best, our thoughts and prayers are with you! Please let us know the results! |
I am currently at NCSU and have just spoken with a 4th year student and waiting for the specialist to come speak with us. From what I've read scintigraphy is not invasive but I'm sure the other ladies here will know more.
The ultrasound was not invasive at all. They did shave her underside (she looks a lot slimmer haha) but she didn't even need to be sedated. Relatively quick procedure.
